Breaking the military captain, an important position that was the envy of the imperial officers, became an idle errand after Gao Yuan was sealed, the Praetorian Guards did not have to go, and there was no specific thing to enter the palace on duty. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The small courtyard closed its doors to thank the guests, and several months passed in a hurry, waiting for a few heavy snowfalls, and at the end of the year, Kyoto served for a year with nothing to do, but the cultivation entered the realm to satisfy Hua Yue, and he did not dare to fight back when he was beaten, and his dodging kung fu made great progress.

When he was on an errand for a long time, he became familiar with the guards of the Qinzheng Palace, and the little eunuch Gao Lin got the permission of the master, and almost became Gao Yuan's follower when he was on duty.

"It's late today, why don't I go outside the hall to listen to a few words?" Gao Lin made a gesture to go up the steps, let Gao Yuan pull him back, and eavesdropped on the minister's deliberations, which is a big crime in the palace, Gao Lin raised his head proudly: "Others have to cut off their heads, I'm fine, I forgot to tell the captain that when the master was not there, His Majesty ordered me to serve in the palace." ”

"I've been promoted? Another five hundred taels of silver tickets were stuffed over, and Gao Lin rarely refused: "No one could afford it before, and I had to send silver to my family, so that the captain did not break the bank, but now I finally mix up my personal appearance, there is no shortage of silver to spend, and when I can go out of the palace on an errand, the first thing is to ask the captain to drink." ”

"Why didn't you say it before, I'm outside the palace, how good it is to help you take care of your home. ”

"Poor people, just get a few dollars to eat, the silver ticket you gave me, let the family buy land and build a house, younger brothers and sisters can go to study and read, and the great kindness and virtue of Xiaolinzi will remember it for a lifetime. ”

Gao Yuan's face was blushing, the idea came from Li Changgong, spending money to buy peace, lest someone say bad things behind his back, he never thought that the little eunuch Gao Lin would regard it as kindness, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Break the military captain Gao Yuan into the hall. ”

After the chief eunuch finished shouting, he waved vigorously at the door of the main hall, Gao Yuan was still in a daze, Gao Lin pulled him up and ran, explaining in a low voice while running: "Your Majesty has a will to hand over to the school captain, I will follow the light, and I can finally go out of the palace on an errand." ”

Qinzheng Palace, the place of daily court meetings, the place of the imperial military aircraft and government affairs, if there is no special move, Gao Yuan is really not qualified to enter, the chief eunuch smiled and advised: "After entering the hall, follow along, wait for the first time I stop, the captain remembers to kneel three steps behind him, and wait for His Majesty to let him get up, I will hold the holy decree over, and after receiving the decree, I must hold it back three steps with both hands before I can turn around and leave the hall." ”

"Thank you, Steward. ”

The crime of being rude in front of the king is not small, let Gao Yuan repeat it, and the chief eunuch listened to it, and turned his face to reprimand Gao Lin: "Serve outside the palace, and accompany the high captain to the household department in a while." ”

"Gao Yuan, I ordered you to go to the household department to inspect the silver treasury, and the Inspectorate and the Inner Government Association sent personnel to co-organize, so you must be cautious when you are on an errand for the first time. ”

"Commandment. ”

Receiving the holy decree from the hands of the chief eunuch, Gao Yuan took three steps back and turned to leave, and out of the Qinzheng Palace, the chief sighed, and just didn't know what to do next, Gao Lin stepped forward and said with a smile: "I will hold the decree, and after scattering the court, lead a team of guards to the treasury of the household department, and the officials who supervise the imperial history and the household department are waiting there." ”

The stone wall is several zhang high, every hundred steps of the arrow tower towers, the sentry on the wall stands with a gun, when I see the patrol walking by, if it is not for the four big characters of the household bank treasury on the door, Gao Yuan really thinks that he has arrived at the barracks.

The first door checks the identity token, everyone who enters the warehouse has to register, and after entering the door, the household officials directly lead Gao Yuan and others to a row of bungalows, three walls are divided into small compartments, and there is nothing in the middle of a large brazier.

"The old rule, you have to change your clothes before entering the warehouse, hehe, I'm afraid that someone will bring silver taels, let's go." ”

Gao Yuan and Gao Lin looked at each other, the silver treasury would not be like this, the supervising imperial history explained with a smile on the side, the two of them blushed, each entered a compartment, and under the supervision of several household treasury soldiers, they took off their stripes and changed into cotton clothes and pants that they brought in the house, and there was a brazier in the compartment, and the people who practiced martial arts didn't feel how cold, and the supervising imperial history was so cold that his face turned blue.

Before arriving at the silver treasury, I had to pass a pass, standing in the iron basket to weigh myself, this time no one needed to explain, Gao Lin consciously stood in: "I have to weigh when I come out, and I am afraid that people will steal silver, and the household department will treat people as thieves." The household official on the side hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm the same, I have to change my clothes and weigh myself." ”

Entering the silver vault, the iron shelf can not be seen at a glance, it is full of silver ingots, and the number of silver ingots is to check the library, of course, there is no need for Gao Yuan to do it, two Praetorian Guards and a household official, and a group of three is busy counting it.

"Hurry up and finish counting, it's hot, I want to go up and hold it in my arms to warm up. ”

The four of them walked around together, supervising the rotation of each group, each shelf had to be counted twice, the two groups of people could not meet and talk, and the numbers were the same, and the three of them wrote them down.

After counting a silver warehouse, I came out to see that it was late, and the supervising imperial history did not speak, and his expression had already revealed his thoughts, so I counted it today, and then the people who entered the warehouse were so cold that they couldn't hold it. Gao Yuan originally wanted to finish counting the business in the morning, but seeing that the supervising imperial history and the household officials were really cold enough, his heart softened and said that he would come early tomorrow, and everyone weighed himself and changed his clothes in thanks.

Out of the treasury, there are household officials to greet him, Gao Yuan saw that the official uniform was busy giving gifts, the household department Langzhong was in charge of the power of a division, and the official was more powerful than him, and the two returned the salute: "The high school lieutenant was ordered to check the library, the weather is cold and the ground is really hard, I will prepare a banquet to ward off the cold for a few adults." ”

"If the captain has no other orders, I will lead the people back to the camp. The captain of the Praetorian Guard came over to ask for an order, how could Gao Yuan let everyone go back on an empty stomach: "I'll just hang around next to me, it's all the brothers who do it, go together, and then go back to the camp when you're full." ”

The squad leader was grateful, the official was three levels lower, Gao Yuan was able to say these kind words, much better than other bosses, hearing the words, Gao Yuan had already turned to Tobe Langzhong: "My lord, please prepare a few more tables, we will eat whatever the brothers eat, but we can't serve wine, lest they go back and be beaten with sticks." ”

"As it should be. ”

Tobe Lang spoke enthusiastically, muttering in his heart that after so many years as an official, he had never seen anyone treat soldiers so kindly.

"Thank you, Captain. ”

The team leader saw that Gao Yuan really stayed with everyone to eat, not just to say kind words, thank you and salute and leave, and waited for Gao Yuan and a few people to get on the sedan chair sent by the household department, before leading people to follow behind, and the pedestrians on the street saw that the sedan chair was accompanied by guards, and they avoided the side of the road from afar.

Restaurant, the household originally only booked a private room, after entering the door called the shopkeeper, let open a few more, the shopkeeper showed a difficult face, the guard had already entered the door, frightened and hurriedly agreed.

After eating, it was also dark, and the next day was agreed to check the time of the next day, Gao Yuan refused the sedan chair of the household department, sent the guards into the barracks on foot, and told the standard commander on duty that the brothers had worked hard to check the library so they came back late, and the standard commander saw that he personally brought it back, how dare he say more, although Gao Yuan did not go to the front camp to officially take up his post, but after all, he still hung the rank of deputy envoy after reporting, and even the commander had to give three points of face.

After checking the treasury for five days in a row, not to mention Gao Lin, Gao Yuan frightened the amount of gold and silver in the treasury, the empire is really rich, no wonder the armor and weapons are much better than Sunset and Cuihua.

After checking the library, the list was stamped by the household department and the inspectorate, the silver treasury is not far from the household department, Gao Yuan and a few people will naturally go first, sit down for a while, the household Lang Zhongping retired from the idler, took out three silver tickets and handed them over, Gao Yuan thought it was a routine hard fee, politely accepted a few words, and looked at the number and hurriedly put it on the table and stood up.

"My lord, put it away, I didn't see it. ”

Thirty thousand taels, the household department is generous enough, but Gao Yuan doesn't believe that it is worth so much money after a few days of freezing, and collecting money for people to eliminate disasters, Li Changgong accepted benefits when recruiting personal guards affected him, so that Duguying knew that he was reprimanded, and returned the silver for the two.

Gao Yuan is the main envoy, he refused to accept the silver ticket, and the superintendent Yushi and Gao Lin did not dare to accept it, so he sat next to him and did not speak, and listened to Tobe Langzhong explain to Gao Yuan.

"Captain Gao, the difficulties of the household department are difficult to describe, and after listening to me, you will know why you want to give such a heavy gift. ”

Hubu Langzhong put away the silver ticket, called someone to bring in a stack of account books, waved his hand and took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, Gao Yuan felt familiar after reading it, and asked for a list from Gao Lin, and after comparing the two, he understood, Hubu wanted him to falsely report the treasury silver, and the difference in numbers was 240 million taels, and his face sank at that time, and he really wanted to collect 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and he couldn't afford the crime of bullying the king.

"Captain Gao, the household department routinely converts silver into gold for storage, and there are only two warehouses of silver, which are used to meet daily expenses, and the trouble lies in these two warehouses, you can take a look. ”

Gao Yuan took the account book and put it on the table, Gao Lin also came over to look at it, and the superintendent Yushi sighed and said: "Captain Gao, don't look at it, I know that these account books are all records of the amount of silver borrowed from the household by the princes and county lords, and the existing gold and silver in the silver treasury are not counted, and all of them have been replaced with IOUs, most of which are in the past ten years. ”

"Each government has a specified amount of silver every year, and there is the income from the fiefdom, why do you have to borrow two taels of silver from the household department?" Gao Lin asked curiously, the supervising imperial history and the household department Langzhong did not answer for a long time, and the household department Langzhong smiled bitterly for a long time: "The prince and the county lord borrow silver, who will give the household department a reason, and who dares to ask His Highness for a reason. ”

"It is said that the household department is not embarrassed, at the end of the year, the amount of silver deposited and borrowed will be all reported, the prince and the county lord have spent more silver, and His Majesty can't blame the household. ”

Hubu Langzhong blushed and didn't speak, and supervised the imperial history to relieve him of the siege: "Gao Gaowei, according to the law of Qinghui, the household department must first ask for a decree to issue a bank, and His Royal Highness who dares to ask for a decree to borrow silver, come directly to the household department to open his mouth, I can't afford to offend, and the inspectorate will not dare to impeach." ”

"Report to His Majesty to investigate, the household will be punished first, so every year according to the usual benefits, the royal silver royal children spent, everyone turned a blind eye and did not offend anyone. ”

"My lord, please check, has the Qinghui County Lord's Mansion ever borrowed silver?"

Gao Yuan first wants to see if Dugu Ying has made a mistake, it is really difficult for her to borrow silver, Hubu Langzhong seems to have known that he is going to ask like this, and takes out a copy from the account book, Gao Yuan knows as soon as Lang Zhong takes the account book, Duguying has also borrowed silver, or the household department will not make a special account.

"Lieutenant Gao, I can't hide it from you until now, not to mention the county lord of Qinghui, the prince's mansion has not borrowed less, and the household department has not dared to play the truth over the years, and the officials of Chaku are the same. ”

Gao Yuan was stumped, he was afraid that he would be responsible for the crime in the future, so he played truthfully, and it involved the prince and Duguying, and it was difficult to make a decision after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to register the number of silver borrowed by each prefecture, and sealed the account book under Gao Lin's reminder.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the end of this beforehand, let me think carefully, whether it is played truthfully or not, Takagaki will try to drag you down as little as possible. ”
